Surviving Grief - by Gary Sturgis (Paperback)

About the Book

Surviving Grief - 365 Days a Year is a follow-up to Gary's bestselling book Surviving - Finding Your Way from Grief to Healing. Gary offers you reassuring guidance and comforting advice as you travel through your personal grief journey.

Book Synopsis

When grief feels overwhelming, this is the book you open.

Grief doesn't arrive in neat stages. It comes in waves-some days quiet, other days crushing. Some mornings you wake up unsure how to face the hours ahead.

SURVIVING GRIEF - 365 Days A Year was written for those moments.

This isn't a book about "moving on," fixing your grief, or being told how to heal. It's a daily companion - 365 short reflections meant to meet you exactly where you are, one day at a time.

Written by someone who has lived through profound loss, this book understands that grief isn't something you get over. It's something you learn to carry, gently, at your own pace.

Each daily reading offers:

• A quiet place to land when the day feels too heavy
• Words that validate what you're feeling - without judgment or timelines
• Gentle encouragement without clichés or pressure
• Reassurance that you're not broken, weak, or grieving "wrong"

You don't need to read this book in order.

You don't need to read it every day.

You simply open it when you don't know what to do with today.

This International Bestseller is often given by loved ones, therapists, hospices, and grief support organizations, SURVIVING GRIEF - 365 Days A Year has become a trusted companion for readers around the world who are learning how to live in a life forever changed by loss.

If you're grieving - or walking beside someone who is - this book offers what so many need most:

A steady presence.

A gentle voice.

And permission to take this one day at a time.
